I used modo for over a year and besides the constant crashing and the crappy snapping (which is slightly better but still very undewhelming imo) I think I simply cannot swallow its philosophy. It's fairly fast to model with but I'd stick to it for organic stuff where you don't need too much precision. I'd say it's not a…
Can you modify configuration via python in modo? If that's viable rather than modifying config I'd just have a python script that does it and use that instead. Then if the file corrupts / new version / or whatever goes wrong, just re-run the script. Modifications would be so easy. Anyway, currently have my C++/Qt modelling…
Nope, I don't have a need to; In a game studio, digging into scripting/coding plugins is the job of the Tech Artist, there's a few hanging around polycount but you might be better served asking around Tech-Artists.org.
I have to give him credit as he probably knows modo inside out but if you remember Seneca Menard he had a hot key setup that would melt your head ! So I would say it's a mixture of original modo tools with customisation and definitely some home made scripts. That's the beauty of modo. [vv]28494269[/vv]
I don't think it'll be cancelled but Max hasn't gotten anything but lip service in the form of meager updates in the last 4-5 years. For example, they finally added quad chamfer in the last update ... and it's not even as good as the script everyone's been using for years and years already. If it doesn't read as…
I can only ascertain that people have missed my previous response stating that I've used Modo before and just have a few things popping up that I don't recall how to fix from the last time I used it. So yeah, watching entire videos to find a few words is rather strange. But that said, I should probably at least watch them…
I actually quite like this thread. Since you already have a lot modeling experience and (understandably) high expectations, I think that great suggestions can come out of it. And I think I understand your frustrations :) Now of course a lot of the suggestions being made in this thread will be strongly biased, since people…
Been too excited about a project to go to sleep, so back again. Really apologize for my sarcasm, I get like that when my head is cloudy from being tired mingled with frustration at autodesk and an all too common case of shit-aint-working. One of the things that made my skin crawl since the modelling kit / NEX integration…
